In a Class of Their Own

19/10/2015

A revealing history of Melbourne’s business community and the pursuit of excellence

In 1955, the dust of war had settled, and times were changing. Melbourne’s business leaders knew they needed talented managers to take advantage of emerging global opportunities; so they started a summer school for executives.

Ten years later, Australia’s first MBAs were graduating from the Melbourne Business School, and Australia’s first female MBAs were in their final year.

Today, MBS is recognised internationally for its quality programs, diverse and influential alumni network and supportive business partners.

In a Class of Their Own tells the story of 60 years of innovation, town and gown co-operation and a highly motivated community of men and women who sought and achieved excellence in business.
